Rebound on Rialto
The series based on the poorly recieved French film Les Revenants but this is fast becoming as unmissable as The Walking Dead. Also just to confuse it's called the The Returned in the UK.
It's a French series with Subtitles.
People in a small town are coming back from the dead but not your shambling zombies, these guys look and act, (sometimes), like they did before they died.
Why are they coming back?
It plays with classic themes from European folklore about the dead returning, angry, uncaring, selfish beings. So although called zombies they are a million miles away from Romero. The dead are jealous, hurt also and appear as perplexed as the living as to why they are here.
Cross The Walking Dead with Twin Peaks, throw in large scoops of Born With The Dead, the Robert Silverberg Novella. Also big nods to the classic Supernatural writers like Lovecraft, M.R. James and Clark Ashton Smith.
These infuences have helped to shape a very compelling series - You absolutely need to watch it from the start as you need to start unravilling the clues at the very begining.
